I have been on holidays and had a half hearted intention to get Olive who is almost 15mths sleeping through. Basically I just can't do the whole CC/CIO thing. I have read Save our Sleep and another sleep training book but didn't agree with either approach. I have tried sitting in Olive's room but cannot stand her crying out "Mumma, my mumma" and watching tears stream down her face
She is still being bottle fed to sleep most of the time or cuddled which i'm fine with but when she wakes up she will not self settle so i'm in and out quite a bit and she comes into our bed usually around midnight and has a bottle at around 4am.

So anyway I guess i'm looking for reassurance that babies of gentle parenting methods do eventually sleep through. Did you ever have to get tough or did your child just learn to sleep through in their own time? What age did you get tough if you did?

TIA
